I have never seen it referred to as the average outcome. And unless a law 
appeared somewhere that I wasn't aware of it is unlawful for anyone to base 
treatment / non treatment on a genetic profile. Did I miss something whilst 
I was sick? Did the genetic discrimination laws not get passed?

Unfortunately I am preparing to go away and have maxed out my internet for 
the month and so am on limited speed which makes site reviewing painful - 
can someone let me know if those didnt get passed? I know that the vast 
majority of the population were apathetic about the genetic laws but I 
thought the US ones would go through. The Australian ones are still sitting 
in a Law Reform Review with no one willing to make a move.
